Guest Reviews
- Christoph (10/5): Wunderbarer Aufenhalt, man fühlt sich auch als Wanderer absolut willkommen! - Sehr schöne, authentische Unterkunft, sehr nettes Personal und wunderbares, schön angerichtetes und feines Abendessen. Auch Frühstück sehr leckeres mit frischen Zutaten.
- Carolyn (8/5): We chose this hotel for its location at the end of the Borrowdale valley - Beautiful location with walls direct from front door. Excellent breakfast. Very willing staff. No TV. Dinner good was overly clever. Room servicing was erratic.
- Patricia (10/5): The quality of the decor, the very friendly and efficient staff, and particularly- the high quality of the food. - The quality of the decor, the very friendly and efficient staff, and particularly- the high quality of the food. Nothing really - rooms were not massive but were thoughtfully designed
- Kathryn (10/5): -
- Stefan (9/5): Tiptop - Sehr schönes Zimmer —— sehr feines Nachtessen Das Frühstück war etwas chaotisch. Qualität gut, Atmosphäre eher wie in einem US Motel
- Paul (8/5): Fantastic location especially for walkers, warm comfortable, good food, and if you have wet walking gear they have a dry - Location good, food excellent, staff good, and rooms very nice. I wanted a clean hand towel change, so in the morning I left it in the shower and the bath towel and shower mat on the towel rail, but on return in the evening the hand towel was still in the shower wet and not changed. Also the tea bags used were not replenished, and there was no complementary water in the room which seems the normal nowadays. Only little things which didn’t spoil our stay, but could easily have been done.
- Jean (10/5): -
- Laurie (10/5): High praise for Royal Oak Hotel - The bathroom had lots of hot water and great water pressure for showers and tubs. They served us scones in the afternoon and tea and coffee was always available in the dining area. The rooms were very comfortable. The breakfast was wonderful. The dinner was way too expensive and they didn't have any smaller or less expensive dinner options.
- Stefan (10/5): - The place was luxury beyond expectations. I had no idea upon booking how nice clean and upmarket it would be. The staff were exceptional and the food was high quality I loved everything, the price was just a touch high for one night stay
- Bianca (10/5): -
- Simon (9/5): -
- Annika (9/5): -
- Jeanne (10/5): Perfect hotel in the Lake District - Second stay here and the welcome is always warm. The room was clean and very comfortable. The food was excellent, and the packed lunch was delicious after a tough mornings hiking. Lovely place to stay in the Lake District. Nothing.
- Terra (10/5): Very accommodating! - Staff, food
- Carol (10/5): Fantastic hotel with fabulous food and super helpful staff. -
- Ian 1978 (10/5): - Werkelijk fantastische accommodatie. Alles, van ontvangst, tot avondeten, tot het personeel, tot de kamers, tot het ontbijt, tot de "packed lunch". Alles was echt top! Als we terug naar de Lake District komen , dan zullen we de route plannen zodat we hier weer kunnen gaan slapen! Helemaal niets!
- Barbara (9/5): Wonderful food, ideal place to stay for walkers - Great welcome, excellent service wonderful food, especially a really outstanding evening menu
- Shaun (10/5): -
- Alessia (7/5): - Ein schönes Hotel mit schönem und sauberem Zimmer. Ein gutes Hotelzimmer nach einem langen Wandertag. Frühstück lecker. Leider war die Heizung aus und das Zimmer sehr kalt. Auf Anfrage hiess es, dass die Heizungen erst am Abend laufen. Restaurant okay, aber für Angebot eher teuer. Haben in der Region besser und gehobener gegessen für weniger Geld. Servicepersonal zwar bemüht aber eher distanziert. Wenn man auf Booking bucht zahlt man bis zu 35 Pounds mehr pro Zimmer und fürs essen gibts auch einen Aufschlag.
- Timothy (7/5): Good but needs more food choice. - Ideal location for walking. Hotel has had a complete makeover. It is clean and comfortable. No TV in the room. Limited fixed price menu with no a la carte
- Alan (9/5): Far more enjoyable than the 'functional' stay we were expecting. - The hotel was well invested, with good food for dinner and breakfast, a surprisingly thoughtful wine offering, and very helpful staff. We have stayed in several hotels in the Yorkshire Dales and the Lake District while walking and this is certainly one of the best Nothing
- Lesley (9/5): -
- Simon (10/5): A charming and very well run inn in beautiful Borrowdale. - The Royal Oak is classy in an understated and unpretentious kind of way. The staff are kind and attentive; the room we stayed in was charming - overlooking the beck; breakfast and dinner were delicious! We’ll plan to stay again. Not really much! Perhaps the bar closed a bit early.
- Katie (8/5): -
- Bart (8/5): -
- Roger (10/5): Quality and comfort - Everything position, value and cleanliness food fab and beds to die for. Nothing
- Anna (10/5): -
- Renée (9/5): - Confortable, bien situé et personnel accueillant. Les repas étaient délicieux.
- Jennifer (6/5): - Clean room Small bathroom. Expensive
- Christopher (7/5): OK but not worth the money. - Breakfast was good, location excellent. Over-priced, poor value for money.OK but not worth the money.
- Gillian (10/5): Great hotel, wonderful location - thankyou - Staff and lay out N/A
- Clair (8/5): All in all a great place to stay whilst walking in Borrowdale; would recommend. - The staff were great, really friendly & very helpful. The food was really good, too, an imaginative menu, great quality & beautifully cooked. It’s a small thing, but some of the seating in the lounges wasn’t very comfortable; it looked good but the upholstery wasn’t great.
- Johalize (8/5): We had a great time in Lake District and Royal Oak hotel contributed to making it an awesome weekend. - Old charm to outside of building but newly renovated and modern inside. Good size room with beautiful decor. Good linen and super clean. Breakfast was outstanding!! Noise insulation can be improved.
- Debra (6/5): -
- Vanessa (9/5): Very good - Very good. Nothing
- Ad (8/5): -
- Nishaan (10/5): - Lovely stay. Exceptional staff, incredibly helpful and very welcoming I had a basic room but it was heavenly, spacious and relaxing, with a clean, modern bathroom and large super king, very comfortable bed Lovely breakfast Nil
- Jo (9/5): Fantastic stay, amazing food, showers and a great location for walking. - This is a fabulous hotel with huge comfy beds, fantastic showers and the food is just brilliant. Little touches like freshly baked scones with homemade jam in the afternoon (free for residents) homemade amazing breads, a different type each day, with tea and coffee from the dining room whenever you want it all goes to make your stay feel like a real treat. It is in a brilliant location to walk from the doorstep and so quiet and peaceful. The only thing that was a slight issue was that our room, which was lovely and freshly refurbished, had very little storage for clothes, walking gear etc. A couple of shelves in the single wardrobe would easily solve it but this is nit-picking tbf!
- William (8/5): -
- Julie (10/5): - The new owners have refurbished the whole hotel. It's lovely, beds comfy, big shower. Food was exceptional, we had three courses. Each day they have a new menu. Staff very friendly and attentive. We liked everything about our stay.
- Jack (8/5): -
- Maisie (10/5): Perfect place to stay in Rosthwaite - The rooms were beautiful! The finishing touches such as the boot room & cosy areas were great. The restaurant was beyond our expectations.
- Mark (10/5): Beautiful - Newly renovated, picturesque accommodation
- Pauline (9/5): Relaxing and enjoyable stay in a beautiful location - Our second visit to the Royal Oak. Lovely and comfortable hotel in a beautiful location. Relaxed atmosphere, well decorated and maintained rooms and great food. The drying room is very useful. Nothing
- Ian (6/5): -
- Kirstine (10/5): - Welcome with wet dogs and people. The food was extraordinary. Nothing.
- Penny (10/5): All we expected and more! Loveky hotek, facilities and staff! - Rooms very lovely, hotel comfortable and welcoming relaxing! Endless tea and coffee, and scones at 3pm! 5 star !! Food very lovely too! We loved our stay!
- Harrison (10/5): A great place to stay with friendly staff, great service and comfortable rooms. - The room was cozy and comfortable, staff were very welcoming and friendly and the included breakfast was incredible the morning before a hike. Would definitely recommend!
- Neil (10/5): -
- George (10/5): Stayed as family of 5 for 5 nights and were well looked after. Food was excellent. -
- Gail (9/5): -
- Lester (8/5): Very Good - Good All very good with the exception of one minor point. When my partner ask if she could buy a hot chocolate she was told in quite a superior, belittling tone "We're not a Cafe" Shame the rest of it was great
- Philip (10/5): -
- Emily (10/5): The evening meal was of a very high standard; 4 choices and changed each night - Excellent breakfast, glorious location, with a bus stop Just by the hotel which was an added bonus All was good
- Elizabeth (8/5): - Beautiful setting along the river
- Tony (10/5): The perfect Borrowdale retreat - Wonderful location, warm, welcoming, great food, excellent service

- Lindsay (10/5): A wonderful place to relax with great food. Will definitely return! - The Royal Oak was full of warmth and character. The staff were welcoming and friendly and looked after us very well. The gorgeous Christmas decorations made it even more special. Our room was very comfortable with stylish en suite - and great shower! The food was delicious. Great location for walking. Can’t think of anything I would change. Possibly just having the fire on in the lounge area would have added to the atmosphere.
- Patsy (10/5): It was relaxing - It was a lovely hotel, the staff were very friendly and the food was lovely, even my 6 yr old picky eater loved the food.
- Lindsay (9/5): -
- Sarah (8/5): Lovely hotel in fantastic location - Lovely staff - excellent breakfast, comfortable bed. Our bedroom was very cold during the early hours - could have done with some extra bedding but couldn't find any so put on extra clothes to keep warm.

- Orlando (9/5): Top notch - Comfortable, excellent food, friendly staff.
- carol (9/5): Clean, delightful staff, excellent food - Clean, cheerful staff, excellent food- Scones and tea to greet you after a long days walk.. The drying room was very much needed. And a great location for exploring the area. Nothing!
- Jill (8/5): A nice hotel with friendly staff and good facilities. - Lovely friendly staff. Nice areas to have a drink outside, have a cozy night inside and have breakfast. The set menu felt a bit pricey but was good quality. At the very top of our budget.
- Olivia (7/5): - Nice and friendly staff, location excellent, breakfast amazing parking was busy and often found it difficult to find a place to park if we arrived late. Curtain in bathroom was very thin and directly faced another house which was not ideal.
- Brad (4/5): Excellent choice for Cumbria Way walkers -
- Kate (8/5): -
- Richard (9/5): - Warm welcome with tea and scones. Lovely evening meal. Drying room very useful No TV which would be an issue for a longer stay. Quite expensive.

- Vicky (9/5): -
- Sue (10/5): Warm thoughtful clean efficiency - Clean newly refurbished Nothing
- Surinderjit (9/5): Lovely break with the kids - Brilliant location Excellent customer service Would be back again Nik
- Maggie (9/5): Our most expensive accommodation during our Cumbria Way trek but it was worth it. - Lovely bed, bedroom and bathroom. Really appreciated the efficient drying facilities in the drying room. The comfortable lounge to sit in. The complimentary scones and hot drinks available on arrival were most welcome. The choice of food available at breakfast time was a treat. As the charge for our pet Millie was £30 a night, would have expected a dog bed, bowls and a towel to be provided in the room. A towel was forthcoming from the friendly reception staff when asked. The sourdough toast provided with the salmon and scrambled egg breakfast was burnt. The porridge was creamy and delicious but the granola on top of the porridge was over toasted and chewy.
- Alan (10/5): -
- Mwelwa (9/5): -
- Rob (7/5): Probably great for walkers wanting early retirement, not so great if you want to relax in bar and socialise - Good breakfast, quiet location Decent wi fi easy parking Arrived at 9.00 pm to find all in darkness except reception Staff did open bar for us and put lights on in lounge No public Tv or tv in room

- Thomas (10/5): - Lovely spot, lovely room, lovely staff, lovely breakfast. Lovely.
- IAN (10/5): Very relaxing and enjoyable break. - A real jewel in the Lake District. Excellent breakfast and exceptional evening meals which we were able to book each morning at breakfast if needed. Staff very welcoming and assisted with daily walks with maps etc available. Will definitely return !!
